2015 Chevrolet Colorado STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Had safety recall for loss of power steering repair done in November of 2021. First incident: Leaving a grocery store parking lot, loss of power steering made the steering nearly impossible at low speeds. Message on display said to have steering serviced and dinged. Had a tow truck come and take it to the same dealership that did the repair. Low voltage code was reset, power steering was returned. Dealership wanted $2.3k to repair. Second incident: One month later, pulling out of my driveway when the same message displayed and the dash dinged. Had a tow truck take it to a different repair shop, same issue, same resolution. $2.4k repair. I declined both repairs.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of automotive power. The power steering message was displayed on the instrument panel. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 199,106.

I’m having an issue with my power steering assist. It just goes out while I’m driving. I almost hit a telephone pole one day almost 2 cars two other times. It started about seven months ago when you pull over shut off the truck open the door to break continuity for the electrical system close the door and start it. It goes back to working normal. It’s gotta be part of the connections underneath the power steering assembly unit itself, but there is no recall for my specific Vin.

The power steering system stopped working while the vehicle was in motion. The issue is identical to the issue noted under campaign 21V213000, and effects a 2015 model year vehicle, however my VIN was not included in the recall

Power steering cuts out and stability track are not working

Battery Saver Active came on and the Truck lost all Steering and transmission would not engage. Loss of power steering.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. The contact stated while starting the vehicle, the instrument cluster warning lights were dim.

The vehicle veered to the right and was uncontrollable. The contact was able to coast off the freeway. The contact contacted On-Star who referred her to the manufacturer. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated the failure was like NHTSA Campaign number: 16V054000 (Steering). The contact was concerned about driving the vehicle. The manufacturer's legal team was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 87,000.

Just started driving my vehicle and went to turn and the steering went out, warnings “Service Power Steering. Drive with care.” “Service StabiliTrac” and “Service Batter Charging System” came on and vehicle stopped. Attempts to turn it back on and “jump” the battery were futile. Fortunately it was a Sunday with limited traffic. Had it been a busy day I could easily have been hit as my vehicle died in the middle of the road. My son, young male and was able to muscle the steering wheel to the edge of the road. Had it been an elderly driver, the situation could have been much different. Somehow, my VIN is not included in this well known issue with 2015 Chevy Colorados. Vehicle was towed to a dealership in Fayetteville, NC and, hopefully, will be looked at tomorrow. Vehicle is available for inspection. This is the first time this has happened. The truck drove fine prior to the problem. I have photos of the warning messages.

While driving on an interstate, with a fair amount of traffic, the power steering assist failed with a message stating so. This incident happened while on a corner in a rain storm next to a tractor trailer. This put my safety at risk. Not only did that system fail, but so did the traction control system, along with non functioning speedometer, tachometer, and temperature gauge. This system is available for inspection, however it tends to clear itself and happen only when your driving the vehicle. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer as I will not drive it. I am in the process of contacting a dealer about the problem. There where no advanced warnings that the system reported prior to the system failing, after it failed then a message was displayed.

I WAS DRIVING AROUND CURVE AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL OVER STEERING AT THIS POINT,BUT FINALLY WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. HAD TO TURN TRUCK OFF AND THEN RESTARTED, TRUCK DID SAME THING FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD WITH NOTIFICATION OF POWER STEERING FAILURE. FEW MORE MILES AND STABILITRACK MALFUNCTION BEGAN BEING DISPLAYED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS,SINCE YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE STEERING CONTROL WHEN THIS HAPPENS.

POWER STEERING CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY. CAN POSSIBLY GET INTO AN ACCIDENT IF TAKING A BEND AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND 69000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. IT CAN BE RESET IF PULLED OVER AND TURNING OFF ENGINE AND TURNING BACK ON BUT THERE ALSO IS A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION NOT LETTING THE KEY TURN TO THE OFF POSITION. THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT PROBLEM IS STILL THERE.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. MESSAGE LIT UP ON DASH. STOPPED CAR AND RESTARTED TO CORRECT. ROUGHLY EVERY 250 MILES. HAPPENED 9/1/2019,9/8/2019, AND AGAIN 9/14/2019. DROPPED OFF AT JIM BUTLER CHEVROLET ON 9/17/2019, JUST RECEIVED CALL TODAY 9/19/2019 THAT A SPECIALIST IS NOW LOOKING AT IT. 3 DAYS NO CAR HAS BEEN DIFFICULT. HAD 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OR EVEN WIFE BEEN DRIVING THERE IS NO WAY THEY COULD HAVE CONTROLLED IT, VERY DANGEROUS. FIRST TIME ON GRAVEL ROAD IN OAKLAND ARKANSAS, 2ND TIME MOST DANGEROUS ON INTERSTATE 44 IN ST. LOUIS AT 65 MPH, THIRD TIME IN BOLIVAR MISSOURI PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION.
